Situated on the use branch of the Evaluation Theory Tree, Michael Patton draws from his experience with collective impact initiatives to explore the complexity of administering and evaluating such a program. He presents an evaluation proposal for the Women Affirming Motherhood (WAM) program that is organized around five key operating principles and that is rooted in a utilization‐focused, developmental, and principles‐focused evaluation approach. Overall, Patton argues for collaboration with an emphasis on stakeholder learning and participation.
